Just to cloud the issue a bit.I know Lowell, who has many, many hours on many engines uses a small amount(don't remember the amount) of synthetic two cycle oil in his fuel and hashad very good luck with it. Just passing on info, never tried it myself.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Certainly easy enough to find out by setting up an in home lab 3 clear glass (flint glass) jars with lids of the same capacity say 32 ounces.Establish a scale of 1 oz is = to a gallon fill each with 16 oz of fuel. Jar 1 add the mmo directly to the fuel in the recommended proportion with no mixingor agitation of any type screw the lid on and let stand undisturbedJar 2 add the same amount of fuel and mmo and agitate vigorously cap and set nextto jar 1Jar 3 is your control same amount of fuel and no mmo cap and store next to jar2 Let all 3 stand for upon placement on the shelf and without movement observe thejars making note of disbursement or non disbursement , color striations andlocations in the jar top bottom and middle Next wait 1 hour and reexamine as in the first notationRe examine in 4 hours same methodologyReexamine in 24 hours same methodologyReexamine in 1 week same MethodologyAt the end of the experiment you should know if it is immediately soluble in gaswithout agitation and the crash data is suspectAgitation puts it into suspension that is permanent or temporary and how well themixture remains in suspension or does it precipitate out and settle at thebottomObserve the control for any stray precipitates that may be present in the fuelObviously this cam be made more sophisticated by using calibrated glass ware andaccurate scales and specific gravity instrumentationThis however is not rocket science but a simple experiment to identify how mmoacts in the fuel tankJohn Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 11, 2012, at 8:29 AM, Jim Ash wrote:> > I suppose the question becomes the solubility of MMO in gasoline.
